DESCRIPTION: Chance® Type RS5500.361 helical piles have 280 kip ultimate capacity and 140 kip working or allowable capacity in compression or tension. This capacity is based on well-documented correlations with installation torque, which is recognized as one method to determine capacity per IBC Section 1810.3.3.1.9. Lead sections and extensions couple together to extend the helix bearing plates to the required load-bearing stratum. Round shaft helical piles offer increased lateral and buckling resistance compared to solid square

shafts with similar torque strength. Strength calculations are based on a design corrosion level of 50 years for most soil conditions. Chance Type RS helical piles feature straight leading-edge helix plates that are circular in plan to provide uniform load bearing in most soil conditions. Custom lengths and helix configurations are available upon request. See below for additional information and other sections of this manual for specifications and design details.
